I believe they use Cloudflare.

But Q4 2016 taught us Cloudflare alone is no panacea.

Well:

1. What leaves my mouth is what leaves my mouth: it does not carry a 
little packet with it labelled "intentions".


2. What enters your ear is what leaves my mouth: it then has a packet 
attached to it labelled "interpretations".


Now, we all know that Heather (and Co.) are not ill-intentioned people; 
far from it.


However, I, for one (what, surely not Richmond?) have been "guilty" of 
sending message, which, while being
largely well-intentioned, have been crafted in such a way that they 
might be prone to attracting negative

interpretations.

Anyone wanting far longer, even more pompous lectures about semantics, 
semiotics, intentionality and so on and so forth

need look no further: I'm yer man.

Oh: and by the way, your Homework is to write me 10 pages on how one can 
detect 'tone' in a written text.

me, too.

I did not see anything offending in Heather´s post.

But maybe this is because english is not my native language and therefore i 
might be not so sensitive to some expressions. ;)

Re: Livecode.com server down

2018-02-16 Thread Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode
I did not finger RunRev (I wonder who they are?), nor LiveCode for a 
dDos attack; all I did do was tell you about
a difficult situation I have been in several times with my ISP provider 
and point out that very
few people seemed prepared to accept responsibility for their actions 
these days.


I am, however, perfectly prepared to accept that I spelt 
'responsibility' in a crappy way ("responisibility") 8-)


I would also like to point out that I have kept apologising to the 
parents of the children I teach for the
fact that one of the air-conditioners in a classroom is bust without 
actually revealing to them that that
the responsibility for its maintenance lies with the landlord as per the 
rental agreement.


I would also like to point out that it doesn't matter at all what system 
your desktop computer is running
if the ISP is not providing an internet signal down its cable to your 
modem; the OS you are using on your

machine should be your choice alone.

Having said that . . .

any chance of LiveCode for UNIX coming back?

Richmond.

Re: Livecode.com server down

2018-02-15 Thread Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode

I have problems with mu ISP about once every 4 or 5 months:

It is NEVER their fault: it's because I use Linux, because I use 
FreeDOS, because I use Macintosh,
because I am "stupid" enough not to use Windows; it's because I have 2 
computers within 3 feet of

each other, it's because my hair is orange (OK, OK, I made that one up).

This IS the way the world goes round these days: nobody will accept 
responisibility for their

mistakes.

After loads of "kicking" my ISP generally send someone round to look at 
my cable modem:
these are always men who "go all funny" because they have to ask me how 
to use Firefox or Safari

to get to the "innards" of either my modem or my switch.

One said to me, just before the New Year; "You wouldn't have these 
problems if you used Windows".


Which is palpable 'Bollo': the sneering tone didn't help much.

The bloke tried to wiggle his way out of things even more when my wife 
pointed out
that our 2 Android ARM phones and my Android Intel tablet couldn't pick 
up a wifi

signal either.

Of course the above has got NOTHING to do with LiveCode: heaven forfend 
that anyone

suggest that they are capable of being rude or otherwise . . .

Richmond.

Dave-

Thanks, yes, but this was a different situation. I was trying to install 
a new version in a new system, so I needed to install a license.

The hackers if any good would attack those as well. We have a good workaround.

There is NO reason at all for there not  to be a backup activation server
with a downloads directory to boot - cost is not prohibitive $8 a month or
so on HostM or $5 a month on digital ocean if a Virtual Server is needed.

Unfortunately we¹ve been the subject of a spate of sustained, intensive
hacking attempts. We had a series of incidents the other week and the last
couple of days has been a new round of attempts from a different angle.
We¹ve fought them off yet again, but some of our team are very tired.
Heather for one was up half the night. The systems are well designed and
no customer data has been affected.

Kind regards,

Kevin

What Heather told me the last time this happened was to:

a) disconnect your development machine from the internet
b) launch LiveCode (it opens in offline mode)
c) reconnect your development machine to the internet
d) continue making awesome apps with LC

Hi Sean,

I have gone back to using the manual method

You may want to do this in the near future.

LC server downtime should never impact

Just my 2 cents for the day.

Hi all,

Just tried activating the latest version of LC but the server is

down. Needed to urgently create an iOS standalone for XCode 9.2 but

Yeah, I got stuck in the middle of something similar.
It's amazing to me that the entire livecode hierarchy (livecode.com, 
livecode.org, the listserv, the forums, the mail servers, the activation 
and authorization servers...) was all down for several hours. I'd like 
to see a reasonable explanation from the mothership about what happened 
and how they're going to avoid this in the future. And please don't say 
that everything goes through a single gateway with no failover.




Still can't activate a license.
An error occurred while attempting to contact the server. Please try 
again later.


Anybody home?
